Have always wanted to watch the Big Top go up. This year I contacted Cole Brothers before their Willimantic arrival. I was told to be on Jillson Square June 24th at 7:30 Monday morning. Of course I was late and the Big Top was nearly up. I did catch many photos of the circus staff finishing up.
Enjoy
Take a look at the photos, when finished come back and click on the movie. It's a lot better then the photos and many of the scenes were filmed in Willimantic
